“We still need some open, Chicken & Brisket judges as well as standbys,” Tiffany Philibert, EMCFA cook-off committee member said via email. “Judges will receive free admission to the fair but must be confirmed to judge by the dead-line of Aug. 31.”

All judges must be an adult, no children are allowed in the judging area and there is no one to watch unaccompanied children during judging.

The open category starts at 10:30 a.m., chicken at 12 p.m., pork ribs at 2 p.m. and brisket at 3:45 p.m.

“The rest will all be explained before each category so it’s ok if you are a first-timer,” Philibert said.

Organizers request judges for their category to be registered and signed in 30 minutes prior to judging time and in the judging building next to the rodeo arena 10 minutes prior to their category or they may lose their seat.
